Featured App: WhackAFact Math

If there’s a game I love, it’s Whack-a-mole.

Don’t ask me what it is, but something about bopping those little woodland creatures as fast as you can has always appealed to me. (It's the little things in life, people.)

The developers of WhackAFact, GabySoft, take the arcade game’s concept to a whole new level in this screen-tappin’ math app.

Featured App: Extraordinary Jenny Jones.

 Extraordinary Jenny Jones from Paperplane introduces your elementary reader to the “original square peg in a round hole."

With beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations and the addition of mini-games and hidden puzzles, this is a storybook app with lots to offer.

BRAND NEW Featured App - Tasty Tadpoles.

When I first read the title of this app from developer Mark White, I was a little nervous that someone was going to make me eat a tadpole which I am just not ok with on lots of levels.

Much to my pleasant surprise, no one offered me food. I was taken wayyyyy back to my childhood memories (ok, so they’re not that far back) to the video game Frogger, just…fishy-er.
